The new me

 In our society, we are often pushed to live our lives like a train following a set of tracks.

The guidance feels almost automatic: we have the impression of driving the train, but in reality, we simply follow a path already laid out for us. The few junctions we encounter along the way are pre-set choices. It is rare to find ourselves in a situation where we must work hard to forge a new path, starting from scratch on a journey whose destination is unknown.

I don’t know if this is true for everyone, but this metaphor perfectly describes how I’ve often felt.

By nature, I am a lazy person; it’s easy for me to fall into routine, to follow a path out of inertia. But I also need to dream, to not feel trapped, to have a mind free from constraints in order to live peacefully within my comfort zone.

Making a change requires a great deal of strength and courage from me. My decisions might seem sudden and impulsive, but in reality, after reflecting deeply on why a wound hurts, imagining the worst scenarios about what could happen when removing a bandage from an unhealed wound, it’s easier for me to rip the bandage off in one go. I know it’s the only way to truly face the consequences of my actions.

MG is the person I strive to become every day: someone who makes courageous decisions, who listens to herself more, who reinvents herself and does not take the easy way out, but fights for what she wants in life, for what she dreams of and desires to become.

MG stands for Marie Généviève, the name I invented when I met the person who has helped me on this journey, who supports me every day and allows me to be MG every day. This person has shown me that I can be brave, that I can dream big, and that I can become the best version of myself.

MG is the new me, the person I want to be every day. It’s a continuous journey, a path of growth and discovery that brings me closer to who I want to become.

Dream, carve your own path, build your own tracks, it’s never too late to reinvent yourself and make your reality your ideal world.

Talk soon,
